Natural, Moisturising sun protection from MooGoo

Moo Goo sun protection

Heading off on a glorious honeymoon? Can't decide on the right sun protection? Look no further than Moo Goo.

Choosing products that offer the right level of sun protection can be tricky, especially when seeking a natural alternative, which both protects and hydrates the skin without being too greasy.

According to a University of California study, the process by which sunscreens absorb UV rays can result in the release of harmful compounds, potentially causing skin cancer and premature ageing. The potential risks are making a growing number of people turn to 'natural' sunscreens, which work by reflecting UV radiation off the skin like an umbrella or a mirror.
